M/V David B
 |
|
The M/V David B was built in 1929 at the Lake Washington Shipyard in Houghton, Washington for the Libby, McNeil and Libby Co. It was worked in Bristol Bay, Alaska a for about 25 seasons.
Many vessels like David B were built to tow sail-powered, boats to the fishing grounds where the fishermen caught salmon. This method of fishing was used to get around a federal rule that prohibited engines in the fishing boats. The David B would tow a string of as many 12 or 15 boats to the grounds, and pick them up for their return. |
